Yes, it does. It's called "grain". Look at really old film (or see the 
opening scenes in the newer Casino Royale James Bond film for a 
post-processing effect).

What movie film *does* have is grain that's far higher resolution than your 
display.

But they were only 1280x1024 tricolor-pixel cameras, so it's not even what 
you get on a HDTV, if I recall correctly.
